In my former life I was a Spanish teacher and I used a Website called Quia.
This fantastic tool is quite similar to Quizlet. I created flashcards
that students used for a variety of games & practice. Quia is a bit
more robust than Quizlet in that I could create different classes, with
calendars, grading etc.
One important thing to note about using online flashcards is that there is a learning curve. Students have to be taught HOW to
effectively use flashcards. It isn't enough to learn just one side.
They have to be able to go both ways. Adding voice, image and making
other differentiations may be useful for many students, but remember
that how they learn and study the terms is how they should be expected
to recall them. So make sure your assessment matches. If they have to be
able to match or define terms, learning / recalling a picture won't be
of much use to them. If they need to simply understand a term to
demonstrate it in a project, that allows for more flexibility in
creating the set.
